Our knowledge biology, palaeontology and geology have been greatly advanced since Charles Darwin's time. In this Creation magazine article by Don Batten, Richard and Calvin summarize the areas in which Darwin was wrong. However, although there are mountains of evidence against evolution today, many intelligent people still believe it.

The Descent of Man would forever change the way we thought about ourselves and where we come from but how accurate was Darwin in his ideas about human evolution? Professor Robert Foley, Director of the Leverhulme Centre for Human Evolutionary Studies explores how 19th-century society viewed ideas of 'early man', and reveals how far our knowledge has progressed since Darwin sketched his 'evolutionary tree'.

Richard dawkins confesses a big possibility of a superior being had made all things on earth.Science is defined as "the observation, identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation of phenomena." Science is a method that mankind can use to gain a greater understanding of the natural universe. It is a search for knowledge through observation. Advances in science demonstrate the reach of human logic and imagination. However, a Christian's belief in science should never be like our belief in God. A Christian can have faith in God and respect for science, as long as we remember which is perfect and which is not.

Our belief in God is a belief of faith. We have faith in His Son for salvation, faith in His Word for instruction, and faith in His Holy Spirit for guidance. Our faith in God should be absolute, since when we put our faith in God, we depend on a perfect, omnipotent, omniscient Creator. Our belief in science should be intellectual and nothing more. We can count on science to do many great things, but we can also count on science to make mistakes. If we put faith in science, we depend on imperfect, sinful, limited, mortal men. Science throughout history has been wrong about many things, such as the shape of the earth, powered flight, vaccines, blood transfusions, and even reproduction. God is never wrong.

Truth is nothing to fear, so there is no reason for a Christian to fear good science. Learning more about the way God constructed our universe helps all of mankind appreciate the wonder of creation. Expanding our knowledge helps us to combat disease, ignorance, and misunderstanding. However, there is danger when scientists hold their faith in human logic above faith in our Creator. These persons are no different from anyone devoted to a religion; they have chosen faith in man and will find facts to defend that faith.

Still, the most rational scientists, even those who refuse to believe in God, admit to a lack of completeness in our understanding of the universe. They will admit that neither God nor the Bible can be proved or disproved by science, just as many of their favorite theories ultimately cannot be proved or disproved. Science is meant to be a truly neutral discipline, seeking only the truth, not furtherance of an agenda.

Much of science supports the existence and work of God. Psalm 19:1 says, "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands." As modern science discovers more about the universe, we find more evidence of creation. The amazing complexity and replication of DNA, the intricate and interlocking laws of physics, and the absolute harmony of conditions and chemistry here on earth all serve to support the message of the Bible. A Christian should embrace science that seeks the truth, but reject the "priests of science" who put human knowledge above God.

Dr Charley Lineweaver and Professor Paul Davies tackle some big universal questions, including if we are alone in the universe and the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence.

Paul Davies is a theoretical physicist, cosmologist, astrobiologist and best-selling author. He is Regents' Professor at Arizona State University, where he directs the Beyond Center for Fundamental Concepts in Science -- a cosmic think tank that tackles the "big questions" of existence, from the origin of the universe to the origin of life and the nature of time.

Davies also directs a National Cancer Institute research program that tackles cancer from a physics perspective. Among his research accomplishments, Davies helped explain how black holes radiate energy, what caused the ripples in the cosmic afterglow of the big bang, and why life on Earth may have come from Mars.

Dr Charley Lineweaver is a Senior Fellow, Planetary Science Institute at the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics at ANU. His current research projects include exoplanet statistics, the recession of the Moon, cosmic entropy production, major transitions in cosmic and biological evolution and phylogenetic trees.

Some anti-theists equate Christian faith with superstition. Richard Fangrad and Calvin Smith discuss an article by Don Batten where he refers to research published in The Skeptical Inquirer (a periodical founded by atheists to oppose Christianity), showing that conservative Christians, the most likely to reject Darwinism, were the most likely to reject 'occult and pseudo-scientific notions'.

He was born in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, England on 12 February 1809. Darwin himself initially planned to follow a medical career, and studied at Edinburgh University but later switched to divinity at Cambridge. In 1831, he joined a five year scientific expedition on the survey ship HMS Beagle.

The voyage of the BeagleBeginning on 27 December 1831, the voyage lasted almost five years and, as FitzRoy had intended, Darwin spent most of that time on land investigating geology and making natural history collections, while the Beagle surveyed and charted coasts.

On the voyage, Darwin read Lyell's 'Principles of Geology' which suggested that the fossils found in rocks were actually evidence of animals that had lived many thousands or millions of years ago. Lyell's argument was reinforced in Darwin's own mind by the rich variety of animal life and the geological features he saw during his voyage. The breakthrough in his ideas came in the Galapagos Islands, 500 miles west of South America. Darwin noticed that each island supported its own form of finch which were closely related but differed in important ways.His five-year voyage on HMS Beagle established him as an eminent geologist whose observations and theories supported Charles Lyell's uniformitarian ideas, and publication of his journal of the voyage made him famous as a popular author. As HMS Beagle surveyed the coasts of South America, Darwin theorised about geology and extinction of giant mammals.

Part2: The Brainstorm

In mid-July 1837 Darwin started his "B" notebook on Transmutation of Species, and on page 36 wrote "I think" above his first evolutionary tree. In London, from 1837, Darwin began to speculate about where species come from.Puzzled by the geographical distribution of wildlife and fossils he collected on the voyage, Darwin began detailed investigations and in 1838 conceived his theory of natural selection.Darwin invoked the idea of the 'tree of life', a way to describe the evolutionary relationships between all living things on Earth.Darwin worked on his theory for 20 years. After learning that another naturalist, Alfred Russel Wallace, had developed similar ideas, the two made a joint announcement of their discovery in 1858. The theory of evolution by natural selection is one of the most influential scientific ideas ever conceived. Darwin published his theory with compelling evidence for evolution in his 1859 book On the Origin of Species. It was to be the book that changed the world forever.

Part3: The Truth

His theory is simply stated in the introduction:

"As many more individuals of each species are born than can possibly survive; and as, consequently, there is a frequently recurring struggle for existence, it follows that any being, if it vary however slightly in any manner profitable to itself, under the complex and sometimes varying conditions of life, will have a better chance of surviving, and thus be naturally selected. From the strong principle of inheritance, any selected variety will tend to propagate its new and modified form."

He put a strong case for common descent, but avoided the then controversial term "evolution", and at the end of the book concluded that:

"Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows...There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whiles this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved."

Part4: The Grandeur

The theory of evolution by natural selection, and with it the concept of the evolutionary Tree of Life, have since been thoroughly tested and verified by a wide range of evidence and especially by the discoveries of genetics. The universality of the genetic code -- the DNA instructions that specify the make-up of the proteins from which organisms' bodies are built -- confirms a common ancestry for all life on Earth today.

Darwin died on 19 April 1882.

Darwin has been described as one of the most influential figures in human history.

This film, which is based in part on Dr. Andrea Diem-Lane's book DARWIN'S DNA, explains the theory of evolution by natural selection within just four minutes by focusing on the famous acronym: V.I.S.I.T.E.D. Variation | Inheritance | Selection | Including | Time | Equals | Design.

"Fascinating and thought-provoking...one of the best produced documentaries ever made." --Movieguide.org

In 1831 a young amateur scientist, Charles Darwin, boarded the HMS Beagle on an epic five-year voyage of discovery that would shake the world. In this expansive documentary the HMS Beagle once again sets sail as it retraces Charles Darwin's voyage in lavish detail, examining his findings and remarkable conclusions and their implications in the light of modern knowledge. Filmed in South America, United Kingdom, North America, Australia and Europe, 'Darwin: The Voyage That Shook The World' features dramatic period recreations and stunning nature cinematography, all interwoven with scholars, scientists and Darwin experts who share differing perspectives on the man and the controversy he stirred. Darwin Double Anniversary 2009 marked the 200th year since Darwin s birth and the 150th year since the publication of his book The Origin of Species.

If Arnold Schwarzenegger had a pet cow, I can almost guarantee it would be a Belgian Blue. These cows are incredibly muscled and have very little fat. Many people think of this breed as evolution in action—because a mutation in its DNA has brought about a supposed improvement.

But if microbes really did turn into Belgian Blue cows—which is what evolution teaches—this would require the addition of lots of new DNA information to turn the relatively simple genome of a bacteria into the vastly more complicated genome of a cow.

However, in the case of Belgian Blue cows, we see the opposite, because no new information has been added. In fact, a mutation has corrupted the myostatin gene, which normally stops muscles growing too big—so information has been lost. The cows have lost control over muscle growth. So Belgian Blue cows have devolved, not evolved!

Earth teems with a staggering variety of animals, including 9,000 kinds of birds, 28,000 types of fish, and more than 350,000 species of beetles. What explains this explosion of living creatures—1.4 million different species discovered so far, with perhaps another 50 million to go? The source of life's endless forms was a profound mystery until Charles Darwin brought forth his revolutionary idea of natural selection. But Darwin's radical insights raised as many questions as they answered. What actually drives evolution and turns one species into another? To what degree do different animals rely on the same genetic toolkit? And how did we evolve?

"What Darwin Never Knew" offers answers to riddles that Darwin couldn't explain. Breakthroughs in a brand-new science—nicknamed "evo devo"—are linking the enigmas of evolution to another of nature's great mysteries, the development of the embryo. NOVA takes viewers on a journey from the Galapagos Islands to the Arctic, and from the explosion of animal forms half a billion years ago to the research labs of today. Scientists are finally beginning to crack nature's biggest secrets at the genetic level. The results are confirming the brilliance of Darwin's insights while revealing clues to life's breathtaking diversity in ways the great naturalist could scarcely have imagined.

What do Creation Scientists Believe?Scientists who call themselves "creation scientists" are professionals, typically with advanced degrees from major universities, who are generally involved in the same types of work as the average scientist. The difference is that creation scientists have a "world-view", or "model" for their science which is based on the belief that an intelligent designer ("God") exists who created our universe and the natural things in it. The creation events were one-time events and are not taking place today. A large subset of creation scientists could be called "Biblical creationists", who take the first eleven chapters of the Bible to be real history, including the creation of all things in six 24-hour days, the existence of Adam and Eve as the first man and woman, the unnatural introduction of "death" into the perfect creation because of the disobedience of Adam and Eve, and the occurence of a world-wide flood (Noah's flood) which destroyed most life and greatly affected the processes operating on the earth. Most creation scientists believe that the earth is "young" (on the order of ten thousand years), but this is a secondary issue. Biblical creationists believe that the Bible and true science are in full harmony with each other - there is no need to "check your brain at the door" when entering a church.

A major goal of creation science is to point out the weakness of evolutionary theory, because basically there are only two alternatives for how we got here, and if naturalistic processes are incapable of the task, then special creation must be the correct answer. On the positive side, creation scientists are developing alternative models and theories in many areas to help our understanding of how the universe works. It should be noted that much of day to day scientific activity is not heavily influenced by either evolutionary or creation assumptions, but much scientific energy has been wasted over the last century in the search for evolutionary evidences and experimental proofs, which have been unsuccessful so far and will continue to be. How much further might we be in some areas of scientific understanding if a model of special creation had been the working hypothesis? ...................................................................................................................................."evolutionary theory" does not meet the universally accepted definition of 'theory' or 'hypothesis' or, for that matter, the universally accepted defintion of 'science' (see section, Creation versus Evolution, for definitions), students continue to be taught evolution as "proven fact"—and later in life, they perpetuate this doctrine as teachers, journalists, and parents without question.

What many people today never hear and realize is the fact that so-called evolutionary theory is not based on known scientific laws or the preponderance of scientific evidence. Rather, scientific creation, as described in the Book of Genesis, is perfectly consistent with all known laws and evidence—and such evidence is overwhelming. The reality is, evolutionary doctrine is built on false assumptions and poor science. It is the greatest deception in modern history.

Why do secular scientists continue to adhere to a false evolutionary doctrine? This site provides the reasons, and summarizes much of the evidence for scientific creation. I ask any skeptical person to give this site an impartial reading before dismissing the scientific creationist viewpoint.

Creationist often use quotes by evolutionists which discredit their own belief system. This raises the ire of many in the evolutionary establishment, and often they will accuse creationists of 'taking their remarks out of context'. Richard and Calvin discuss a particularly damning quote by a famous evolutionist and show how it is often evolutionists that are muddying the waters surrounding this issue and not creationists.

Heres a virtual movie of the great Charles Darwin (12 February 1809 — 19 April 1882) reading a few words from his 1839 publication "The Voyage of the Beagle" in which he described the voyages that gave him the experiences from which he formed his theories on evolution,and natural selection. I have called this fragment of virtual film ""Man the Barbarian". Charles Robert Darwin FRS (12 February 1809 — 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist[I] who established that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors, and proposed the scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection. He published his theory with compelling evidence for evolution in his 1859 book On the Origin of Species. The Voyage of the Beagle is a title commonly given to the book written by Charles Darwin and published in 1839 as his Journal and Remarks, bringing him considerable fame and respect. The title refers to the second survey expedition of the ship HMS Beagle, which set sail from Plymouth Sound on 27 December 1831 under the command of Captain Robert FitzRoy, RN. While the expedition was originally planned to last two years, it lasted almost five—the Beagle did not return until 2 October 1836. Darwin spent most of this time exploring on land (three years and three months on land; 18 months at sea). The book, also known as Darwin's Journal of Researches, is a vivid and exciting travel memoir as well as a detailed scientific field journal covering biology, geology, and anthropology that demonstrates Darwin's keen powers of observation, written at a time when Western Europeans were exploring and charting the whole world. Although Darwin revisited some areas during the expedition, for clarity the chapters of the book are ordered by reference to places and locations rather than by date. Darwin's notes made during the voyage include comments illustrating his changing views at a time when he was developing his theory of evolution by natural selection and includes some suggestions of his ideas, particularly in the second edition of 1845.

A world-renowned scientist, and a dedicated family man struggling to accept his daughters death, Darwin is torn between his love for his deeply religious wife and his own growing belief in a world where God has no place. He finds himself caught in a battle between faith and reason, love and truth. This is the extraordinary story of Charles Darwin and how his master-work The Origin of Species came to light. It tells of a global revolution played out in the confines of a small English village; a passionate marriage torn apart by the most provocative idea in history evolution; and a theory saved from extinction by the logic of a child.

Charles Darwin is played by acclaimed British actor Paul Bettany ("The Da Vinci Code", "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World", "A Beautiful Mind", "Inkheart"), and his wife Emma Darwin is played by his real-life wife, Academy Award winner Jennifer Connelly ("Blood Diamond", "A Beautiful Mind", "Requiem For a Dream", "The Day the Earth Stood Still"). Directed by Jon Amiel ("Entrapment", "Copycat", "Sommersby", "The Core") from a screenplay by John Collee ("Master and the Commander: The Far Side of the World", "Happy Feet"), CREATION is based upon Randal Keynes book, "Annies Box", about the life of his great great grandfather, Charles Darwin.

CREATION will open the 34th Toronto International Film Festival on September 10th, 2009.

Richard Dawkins is dumbfounded after being asked to "give an example of a genetic mutation or an evolutionary process which can be seen to increase the information in the genome". If evolution is true there should be many examples of information increase, but Dawkins is unable to cite one. He then responds but dodges the question. Why? Because information comes only from intelligence, not random processes.

If evolution was true, the further back into history we look, evidence should show a gradual decline in man's intelligence. Science shows otherwise. Man, created in God’s image, has always been intelligent.

There's a rumor that always floats around on the Internet that Charles Darwin recanted on his deathbed. He was a self-described Agnostic, but he suddenly found God just before he died in 1882.

First of all, even if that were true, it wouldn't mean evolution is wrong. The evidence Darwin provided, the massive amounts of evidence we've discovered since then, it all points to the truth of his theory.

But how did that rumor even begin?

It was all invented by a British evangelist named Lady Elizabeth Hope.

She said in 1915 that she visited with Darwin before his death, and he was reading the Bible, and he mildly questioned evolution on his deathbed.

She then wrote about the whole encounter for a Baptist magazine.

Turns out there were some problems with her story.

She said she visited Darwin 7 months before he died, so he wasn't on his deathbed.

There's no proof Darwin was ever studying the Bible.

He didn't renounce evolution, even in her story. He also didn't say evolution was wrong in her story. So who knows how those legends sprang.

Most importantly, the people who were actually around Darwin when he died -- his daughter Henrietta and his son Francis -- they very publicly rebutted her article and said it's all untrue.

If their dad suddenly became a Christian, they would've known about it.

So why would this Lady Hope woman lie? Well, her critics say she had an overactive imagination and she was a good storyteller. She also had little to lose by sharing this story.

And you can understand why Christians would love the story. It means someone who probably did more harm to religion than anyone else in history -- for good reason -- saw the light.

It wouldn't be the first time they believed a work of fiction.

To their credit, even Answers in Genesis, Ken Ham's Creationist group, admits it's all a hoax and that Christians shouldn't spread that story or take it seriously.

But my favorite reaction is from Richard Dawkins, who says that when he's dying, he's going to have a tape recorder switched on so that everyone knows he didn't turn to Christ in his dying hours.

Evolutionists sometimes say the oddest things. Watch to hear interesting, surprising and sometimes shocking quotes and admissions from leading evolutionary scientists who are daring enough to expose massive problems with various aspects of evolution.

Question 9 in CMI's '15 Questions for Evolutionists' flyer has plagued evolutionists since the time of Darwin. Where are the transitional fossils? Evolutionary paleontologists have stated that the "missing links" are still missing and some, such as the late Stephen J. Gould, have suggested new ways of interpreting the fossil record due to the lack of transitional fossils.

Sheldon moves down to Texas and plans on teaching evolution to creationists.

So many comments regarding evolution being a theory and not a fact, I thought I'd throw this in regarding the topic:

"Evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts do not go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's, but apples did not suspend themselves in mid-air, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape-like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."-Stephen Jay Gould, Evolutionary Biologist

"That evolution is a theory in the proper scientific sense means that there is both a fact of evolution to be explained and a well-supported mechanistic framework to account for it."-Richard Lenski, Biologist

"One thing all real scientists agree upon is the fact of evolution itself. It is a fact that we are cousins of gorillas, kangaroos, starfish, and bacteria. Evolution is as much a fact as the heat of the sun."-Richard Dawkins, Biologist

"Today, nearly all biologists acknowledge that evolution is a fact. The term theory is no longer appropriate except when referring to the various models that attempt to explain how life evolves... it is important to understand that the current questions about how life evolves in no way implies any disagreement over the fact of evolution."-Neil Campbell, Biologist

"The basic theory of evolution has been confirmed so completely that most modern biologists consider evolution simply a fact. How else except by the word evolution can we designate the sequence of faunas and floras in precisely dated geological strata? And evolutionary change is also simply a fact owing to the changes in the content of gene pools from generation to generation."-Ernst Mayr, Biologist

In my own words: A "theory" is a model that explains how something works. Example: Einstein's General Theory, which includes a theory of gravity, explains how the fact of gravity occurs. Similarly, the "Theory of Evolution" explains how the fact of evolution occurs. Theories use facts, but don't become facts themselves. Facts and theories are completely different things and are not on some sort of hierarchical scale.

Cloning and stem cell research technologies have been around for a while now, and they often generate controversy. Discover the Biblical response that Christians should be taking regarding these things.

How would our view of dinosaurs change if scientists found carbon 14 in their bones? Well, a group of geophysicists claimed to have discovered exactly that—carbon 14 in dinosaur bones! This is indeed a shocking proposal for those who believe that the last dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago, because carbon 14 decays so fast that it could not possibly survive that long. There should not be one atom of carbon 14 present in dinosaur bones, if they really are as old as is usually claimed. After going to great lengths to rule out contamination, the researchers concluded that they had indeed found carbon 14 in dinosaur bone. These results seriously undermine the evolutionary story of long ages of earth history. However, they fit nicely with Biblical history, whereby dinosaurs lived only thousands of years ago, with their fossils forming from animals buried during Noah’s Flood.To find out more from Creation Ministries International visit our website http://creation.com.

Before we can hope understand creation we need to be sure of the literary style of Genesis. Is Genesis poetry or does it record actual historical events? We compare the structure of biblical poetry with historical narrative and see which form of literature Genesis matches.

📺 Would Darwin be a Darwinist today?

For more details visit: http://creation.com/creation-magazine-live-episode-42

Our knowledge biology, palaeontology and geology have been greatly advanced since Charles Darwin's time. In this Creation magazine article by Don Batten, Richard and Calvin summarize the areas in which Darwin was wrong. However, although there are mountains of evidence against evolution today, many intelligent people still believe it.
